Ruby hack: [Hack of the Year 2012] POKéMON LIGHT PLATINUM

Complete Brazil version is done? SWEET. That means the translated English version will be done in no time and I can finally get to doing that LP. Thanks so much, Snakebyte!

EDIT: Wait someone asked about a translated version earlier and were told they're behind the times, does that mean it's already done? 0_o

No, they were "behind the times" because they were asking about Ash493's translation. Though Snakebyte reckons the translation will be done today, so that's good news (after five months of waiting on SP for a buggy, inaccurate translation). :]

Thanks for all your hard work; can't wait to play English version!

@SNakebyte, Thanks for your great work with the translating stuff, but one question...
Will this version be playable on the PSP? Because somehow the original doesn´t work on mine, thanks.

The beta test version works on mine. I'm guessing the complete version will too.

That was insanely fast, Snakebyte. I can't wait to play the translated version!

woah dude great job man!!!!!!! srsly cant wait for the patch to come out...........n yeah thanks a lot for everything!!!!!!!!!!!

Been looking forward to this. Can't wait to play it! (only know english and french)

English Translation Release!

Alright! After a little over three weeks of hard work, I've completely translated Light Platinum into English, and fixed many of the bugs that I encountered.

This will only work if patched to a Ruby 1.0 ROM.

The patch is too large to upload as an attachment, so I've Sendspaced it.

If you get a white screen, you are using the wrong rom, or your emulator is not correctly set. Turn VBA off, delete the Light Platinum.sa1 or .sav file, turn VBA back on, go to Options -> Emulator -> Save Type -> Flash 128k, turn VBA off again, then turn it back on and load the rom once more. If that doesn't work, you are not using a Ruby 1.0 Rom. When looking for it, googling '0907 Ruby 1.0 (U)' might help. I found one on 4shared.

I will not answer any questions about how to make this work on a phone, on a PSP, or on anything that isn't Visual Boy Advance!

Changes:
- All text has been translated to English.
- All Unova Pokemon have been given their English names.
- Feebas now evolves by Water Stone.
- Many, many scripting bugs have been fixed, but please let me know if any remain.
- Trainers whose Pokémon used strange attacks should be fixed.
- Some place names have been changed to better fit English. Very slightly, in most cases. I don't remember all of them, but it's things like Winder -> Winter and Dragonbreath -> Drakebreath.
- Also, Shaymin is in the game in Inhore Woods. I didn't add it, but Wesley didn't mention it on his site.
- The following important trainer names have been changed (I may have forgotten some, I wasn't keeping a list):
Sheyla -> Sheila
Katyne -> Kaitlyn
Persie -> Percy
Atlur -> Atlas
Rukia -> Lucia
Kaohri -> Kaori
Perla -> Pearl
Roarka -> Rochelle
Rebeca -> Rebecca
Lumy -> Lucy
Lure -> Luke
Kilua -> Kilroy
Kuchick -> Robin (...Don't even ask. It was a whole thing.)
Wyse -> Weiss
Honeyu -> Honey
Aurane -> Rayne
Byake -> Blake
Shinora -> Cynthia
Blane -> Blair

Bugs:
- Don't enter the Normal Rank Contest.
- You may need to enter and exit the Pokémon Center after Red's Gyarados uses Rain Dance in Esmerald City.
- Some items may respawn.
- Pokedex entries and cries have not been changed.

Thanks to (in no particular order)...
- Wesley FG, who made this hack and deserves far, far more credit than I do.
- Me!
- Spherical Ice
- DrFuji
- colcolstyles
- Quilava's Master
- Smallbirdie
- U_Flame
- Tcoppy
- Ash493
- dblanchette93, for sanity maintenance.
- Darthatron, HackMew, Lu-Ho, and anyone else who made tools I used.
- Anyone else who I've forgotten...

ENJOY! :D

P.S.: Most of Lauren has not been beta-tested. If I need to, I'll release a fixed version, if any gamebreaking errors remain.
P.P.S.: I'd have had this out over an hour ago, but we had a blackout. XD
P.P.P.S.: Yellow Town does not have a healing script. I was going to add one, but forgot. If I need to release a bugfixed update, this will be included.

WOOTTTTT!!!!!!! This is legit!!

Finally! Thanks for all your hard work Snakebyte!

Dude Your the best I thought I'd have to wait forever.

Does it work for emulators on android phones

Redshear: TRY IT AND SEE. I DON'T OWN A FRIGGIN ANDROID PHONE!!!!

Until Wesley gets back to me, I have no way of getting this on the front page, so there's a link to it in my signature for when this gets buried. :)

Well isn't this a surprise.

Thank's Snakebyte.

it works very well, but may not work on the type of emulator you're using

anyway Sankebyte, THANK YOU for everything, and I did find a small, glitch.
At the beggining, where the doctor indtroduces herself and pokemon, it's partly in spanish. I quickly played up to the point where I read the old engraving, but nothing seems wrong in dialogue yet.

an btw, is the clock's background supposed to be dark? cuz all I see is the green clock, and a black background

anyway, Thanks!!

I did try and it says that the rom file type is not supported.

leews24: What? It sure isn't when I play it. Oh, and yeah, the clock's always been like that.

Redshear: THEN I GUESS YOU ANSWERED YOUR OWN QUESTION DIDN'T YOU.

It doesnt really matter, theres no problem in gameplay...yet

Well no it strikes me as odd because every other game I get is in .zip format on the title and this one was in .ips. Now I dont know much about roms and their formats but I think the way the game is saved, or patched, may have something to do with it. so is there any way someone knows how to fix this problem or can someone tell me how to change the format because im sure someone else will ask. On a side note I apologize if im annoying you snakebyte but all I want to do is play the game like everybody else.

Seriously, where exactly? I just tested three times, choosing boy and girl, on the ips patch and a clean rom, and encountered no portuguese.

Redshear: REALLY? It's an IPS PATCH, like every other hack on this site. You need to patch it to a rom. Please read the basic help threads in the emulation section and do not spam this thread up with your ignorance any more.
